Yisheng's Zhao Laolang Zhong and Liu Laolang back then had an old relationship, and kindly reminded her for the sake of this feeling: "Luo Niangzi, in this Changlingyi, it is not possible to get things done just by virtue of right and wrong." ”

He pointed to it meaningfully, and then called his buddy to give Luo Qianhuai a gift.

It was not convenient for Luo Qianhuai to tell him, this matter had already been approved by Huo Yu of Changling Ling, but he thought of Gao Liang's warning from the previous time, and probably understood that in this case, there were still people trying their best to press the lid, not wanting her to open it so easily.

The investigation of the case is progressing slowly, but the festival still has to be better.

Luo Qianhuai took Xingjiu and soaked rice, millet, glutinous rice, peanuts, lotus seeds, walnuts and other dried grains and fruits early, and added chestnuts, almonds and brown sugar, and boiled it into a large pot of fragrant Laba porridge, which was eaten with Luo Zhaozhangqing, Yan's brothers and sisters and Xingjiu.

Laba porridge is thick and sweet, warm to the stomach, comfortable and steady. Luo Qianhuai looked at the sky and the moon through the window lattice, only feeling that his heart had been floating since the crossing, and he had become a lot more comforted because of this bowl of sweet porridge.

Someone walked up to her and stood side by side with her.

The soap-blue shirt crossed from the corner of his eyes, and it was Zhang Qing.

"I don't know how long Zhang Jianzong will stay in Changlingyi this time?" She asked.

"Mrs. Luo." Zhang Qing's eyes were dark and clear, and his voice was low and powerful: "It's the New Year." I don't know if I am lucky enough to be able to celebrate the New Year with Mrs. Luo? ”

"Of course." Luo Qianhuai responded: "Zhang Jianzong is Zhao'er's master, just rest assured to stay, there is no need to be so polite." ”

Zhang Qing reached into his arms and pulled out a flat and narrow box. He has always been decisive in his work, and he has never dragged his feet, but at this moment, his fingers were tightly gripping the box, and he hesitated for a while before sending it to Luo Qianhuai:

"Mrs. Luo asked me yesterday why I stayed in Maoling for so long. What is in this box is the reason. ”

Luo Qianhuai took it curiously, and when he opened it, he saw an extremely beautiful double-edged dagger lying inside, the blade was blue in color, and it was faintly bright under the candlelight.

"What is this?" Luo Qianhuai tried to stretch out his finger to touch the tip of the blade, but just as he felt the cold meaning, his wrist was held in his hand.

"Be careful." Zhang Qing said, carefully holding her hand up, only to see that the tip of her index finger had slowly oozing out of the blood.

At this time, Luo Qianhuai felt a tingling.

"On the night of the twenty-fourth day of the winter moon, the star fell in the north of Xianyang Yuan." Zhang Qing said slowly: "This short sword is made of meteoric iron, which is light and tough, and sharpens iron like clay. ”

He didn't say how he had forced back so many seekers to get the meteorite alone, or how he had spent most of his savings plus an arbitrary condition to get the most famous swordsmith in the world to build it.

"This kind of sharp weapon should be reserved for those who really understand it." Luo Qianhuai withdrew his hand and pushed the box back, without meaning to take it at all.

Zhang Qing understood her refusal, and a trace of loss flashed in his eyes: "Mrs. Luo." I know that you have never liked to use weapons, so I deliberately used this small self-defense short sword, which is usually used to cut herbs, and it is also a few points faster than ordinary iron tools. ”

Luo Qianhuai was amused by him: "If I really use such a divine weapon to do that kind of thing, it will be a tyrannical thing." ”

"Put it away." She said with a straight face: "I am a doctor, and I don't want to keep this kind of hurtful weapon." ”

"Hurting people and saving others is all about it." Zhang Qing couldn't bear to see the carefully prepared weapon dusty: "This sword was originally customized for Mrs. Luo, and it was only a thank you gift for saving her life last time. ”

What he said was the truth, the hilt of this short-bladed sword was really quite small, and it corresponded exactly to Luo Qianhuai's hand shape, and it would be difficult to hold it if the man changed.

Luo Qianhuai thought about it, as long as the system followed her for a day, she might face all kinds of desperate situations at any time, if she had such a dagger on her body, maybe she would be able to get out a little more surely.

She took the box and thanked Zhang Qing. The corners of the latter's lips couldn't help but rise, and his eyes were full of joy when he looked at Luo Qianhuai.

Luo Qianhuai's heart was as calm as water, and he lowered his head to avoid his fiery gaze, thinking that he had to find another opportunity to return this gift.

Luo Zhao walked in at this time, breaking the embarrassing atmosphere in the room: "Master, today's homework is done." ”

Zhang Qingqiang suppressed the throbbing in his heart, walked over and patted him on the shoulder: "Not bad!" The master is in a good mood today, let's start learning the introductory swordsmanship, and come with me! ”

He pulled Luo Zhao and fled the scene at great speed, leaving Luo Qianhuai and Xing Jiu looking at each other, and then laughing together.

Xijing Weiyang Palace Jianzhangtai, at this moment is the lights like day, singing and dancing. Emperor Yu Heng of Dayu is the first to be at the top, and all the beauties who have been favored by the harem are present, the seven princes and the eighth princes who have not yet been crowned kings, as well as the family of the king of Jizhou who returned to Beijing and the elders of the clan in Beijing, were also present.

This kind of Laba family banquet will be held once a year, and there are precedents to follow who can attend and who is not qualified, but this year's banquet, there is an unfamiliar face.

In fact, it is not very unfamiliar, because this face makes many older people feel familiar and even frightened.

Mo Gongzi was dressed in a dark cyan linen robe that was incompatible with the people present, his hair was tied by an ebony hairpin, and he was covered in no pearls and jade, sitting alone on the last seat near the temple gate, but he looked much more dignified than most of the people present.

He was not like the others, who took turns to toast Yu Heng and offer a toast, nor did he care about those all kinds of eyes and whispers, his body was as tall as a green pine, and his abundant spirit was as handsome as the moon, quietly and elegantly tasting the wine and food on the table, not at all like those vulgar people who were born in prison and grew up in the market.

Since the king of Jizhou entered the palace, his eyes have been looking at him from time to time, his eyebrows frowning slightly, and he didn't even notice that the seventh prince Yu Sui toasted him.

Shizi Yu Shen, who was sitting on the side, hurriedly reminded him and brought him back to his senses.

Compared with Yu Xuan, the eighth prince who was pampered by Yu Heng in the palm of his hand, Yu Xun looked harmless to humans and animals, and even looked a little restrained: "It's the first time I've seen the third emperor brother, and if the emperor brother stays in Xijing in the future, I hope to be able to take care of one or two." ”

With that, he drank all the wine from the cup.

King Jizhou, who was thirty years older than the Seventh Prince, only smiled slightly when he heard this, neither got up nor drank, but said a little lazily:

"The seventh brother is talking like this, does he want to put his brother in injustice? My father's edict was to return to Beijing for my brother, but I haven't seen him for many years and I miss it, as for what you said about staying in Xijing for a long time, it is against the law of the country, and I dare not think about it as a brother. ”

As he spoke, he arched his hand towards Yu Heng, who was on the top, and then said to Yu Sui: "Today's family banquet is just that, the seventh brother is not young, and he will be a vassal soon, so remember to be cautious in his words and deeds when the time comes." ”
